Step 3 — Connect Electrical WiringConnect a 110/120V dryer to a 15 Amp. branch circuit using at least#12 GA copper wire. (Do not exceed a 20 Amp. branch circuit).Connect a 220/240V dryer to no more than a 15 Amp. branch circuitusing at least a #14 GA copper wire. Attach lines to terminals asindicated by the schematic inside dryer cover. Be sure that anequipment ground wire is securely fastened to green ground screw onbase plate. For runs over 50 feet or for multiple installations, increasethe size of the wire used. Dryers located in shower rooms or other wetlocations should be installed with circuits protected by ground faultinterrupter(s) or as local codes require.

Step 4 — Replace CoverFor multiple installations, before replacing cover, check the SerialNumber marked inside the dryer to be sure it matches the SerialNumber marked on the label at the bottom of cover. DO NOT SWITCHCOVERS. Install Cover using the two tamper-proof fasteners.

Leave the special TAMPER PROOF WRENCH with the owner.NOTE: If the dryer will not turn on, stays on or stops working, it may be mounted

too close to a counter or object. Turn off power to dryer for 10 secondsand then reapply power. If dryer starts, then turn off again, relocate theobject or remount dryer.

CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS

Important: DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL SUPPLY TO DRYER PRIOR TO SERVICING.

OutsideGently wash cover (including air Inlet holes) using a soft cloth orsponge and a mild soap or detergent with lukewarm water toloosen dirt and grime.

InsideCLEANING SHOULD BE PERFORMED BY QUALIFIED SERVICEPERSONNELWith normal use, dryer will require cleaning once a year. Heavier usagerequires more frequent cleaning. Lint on the air inlet or other internalparts of dryer will reduce efficiency and shorten the life of the workingparts. To clean, remove cover by unscrewing the tamper-prooffasteners from cover with the special wrench provided with each dryer.Use a small, soft brush to gently clean all parts.

• When the Infrared Sensor detects hands beneaththe exhaust port, it activates the XLerator® HandDryer. Water droplets are first blown from handswith a strong controlled air blast. Residualmoisture is then evaporated with a warm streamof air up to 135° F/57° C.

• After hands are withdrawn from the Sensor’sdetection zone, or after a maximum of thirty-five(35) seconds of continuous operation, the HandDryer automatically stops. It is then ready for thenext user.
